[Why that's a mere $500,000 apiece, minus overhead. Those paupers. Oh wait, they said pounds, not dollars. Never mind]

Dec. 07 (Sunday Mirror) -- Fleetwood Mac were revealed as the incredible headline act of next year's Isle of Wight Festival - and I'm told they'll pocket a small fortune for it.
The British-American stars were snapped up by festival boss John Giddings for the exclusive performance, after he tempted them away from a rumoured appearance at Glastonbury.

Organisers remain tight-lipped on the fee but industry sources tell me it could be as much as Pounds 2.5million.

A music source told me: "It's a huge fee, but this is a big deal and there was a lot of interest in signing them. It's one of the biggest sums ever paid for a festival headliner - but the organisers know it will be worth every penny."

A festival spokesman this week refused to comment.
